Lee Hana

"Annyeonghaseyo! From across the stars, I'm Lee Hana. Please take care of me."

- Hana's catchphrase

Hana Lee (李　荷娜/이　하나/イ　ハナ) is one of the current candidates for AKB0048's 155th generation draft.

Ethymology
Lee, correctly romanised I, is written 李 in hanja which is derived from Chinese. It can be translated as plum among other meanings.

Her given name, Hana, correctly romanised as Ha-na, is written as 荷娜. 荷 is derived from a Chiense character that translates to lotus or water lily. The hanja 娜 can be translated as elegant, graceful or delicate.

Often, Hana's name causes a lot of confusion. The correct romanisation would be I Ha-na. However, she commonly romanises it as Lee Hana which makes it easier for people who speak no Korean to read the name in latin letters. Her name is commonly given in katakana, イ　ハナ. She doesn't mind the name being mispronounced as long as she understands it.
